Snowfall makes roads slick, causes school delays

HARTFORD — An early morning snowfall is making roads across Connecticut slippery and prompting school delays.

Light snow is falling across the state just before Friday morning's commute. Schools in Danbury, Waterbury and Torrington are among many opening 90 minutes to two hours late.

The National Weather Service is forecasting less than an inch of snow in Connecticut on Friday, with some snow and rain continuing after 4 p.m. Temperatures are expected to rise to the high 30s during the day.

No major delays are reported at Bradley International Airport or on the Metro-North rail service.

The Weather Service also has issued a flood watch for the entire state Saturday afternoon to Sunday afternoon because of expected heavy rain and potential ice jams in rivers and streams during rising temperatures.
